- Luxembourg clarified VAT rules for PV solar installations, treating them as immovable property for VAT purposes and tying VAT obligations to how the electricity is used.
- Operators selling all electricity to the grid are taxable persons, must charge reduced VAT, and can fully deduct VAT on installation and related costs.
- Operators using all electricity privately are not taxable persons, cannot recover VAT, and do not need VAT registration or filings; prior deductions may have to be adjusted if they switch from selling to self-consumption.
- For partial self-consumption and sales of surplus, operators remain taxable persons, can deduct VAT, but must account for private use as taxable at the reduced rate based on market value.
- The guidance also covers the small business scheme (turnover up to EUR 50,000) and energy-sharing arrangements, with specific VAT obligations for each.
